What pisses you off?

Got up this morning and tried to put the radio on in the lounge room as I do first thing. Didn't work. Tried a couple of different things took a couple of minutes for the first thing in the morning brain to twig that the power was actually out in the lounge. Lights and power on a different trip switch so lights worked, just not power.

Reset the switch in the fusebox, all good. So I think.

Get home from work tonight, come inside, same shit. Power has gone out. FMD. Reset switch, check kitchen freezer, nothing seems too thawed out, I can live with that. (wish I knew what was tripping it, it's on now and has been for 90 minutes with no issue)

Turn on the TV and we have a problem. The Foxtel box has shit itself. Wont turn on. Try a few things including unplugging etc, all of a sudden the lights go blue. It starts to get up and going, strains for a few seconds and then carks it and switches off again. Lots of swearing and 30 minutes later of watching the cycle I cave in and ring Foxtel.

First good part, after I describe what I've already tried the bloke on the phone has enough nouse to not try to make me follow the script and do it all again, just jumps to the chase and says he'll get a new Foxtel box sent out. Bingo things I, common sense at last. Silly me.

So he says how it will be delivered in 2-5 working days and all I have to do is.....so I but in and say that I assume that if noone is home they'll leave it on the front verandah or something.

Uh oh chongo, now I've really deviated from the script.

So I get the "if no one is going to be home when it's going to be delivered..." I butt in before he's finished and tell him that first he can't tell me when it will be delivered and second I can tell him now that no one will be home because I work.

Ok, so then the courier will try and deliver it once, and if no one is home they will try again the next day and if no one is home again they'll leave a card saying where I can pick it up.

So, I says, we both know that no one is going to be home, I just told you that so can we skip this part of the dance and jump ahead? Can't they just leave the thing there?

I should have known better, that's not an option for a variety of reasons I understand even though they're a PITA.

So, plan B, Can I get it delivered to work instead? Silence, then surprised tone of voice, yeah we can send it there. Beauty.

So until then I got no foxtel.

Got removalists coming in 3 hours and I'm not ready. Pulled an all nighter too. Oh well, if they get 90% of the move done (all the big stuff) I can hire a van later, or just enjoy a few trips up and back in the station wagon. Got someone at the other end to let them in, so might just have a nap here once they've headed off.

I never thought junior would go to the dark side. And now my feral eldest is almost human, even tidied her room. Nice boyfriend, has manners again, emptied the dishwasher without being asked. Let junior and her friends have it at the mixed netball game tonight. The other team had 5, we are top of the ladder, and boy did they let them know it. Juniors horrible awful *&%%^&(*^$ boyfriend who is 6'4" started showboating, and they all joined in. Three quarter time I said to junior "having fun" she said 'yeah!' I said "pretty disrespectful. You've been there. You've had the Werribee feral rep teams give it to you, you remember how it felt? Cut the shit or I leave. " my BFF and her daughter, who used to be feral, and was about to walk of the court with embarrassment, agreed. They also spoke up. I so hope her BF gets a U.S. Scholarship, because **** I want him gone! AAAAGGGGHHHHH
